Spinning a large workpiece too fast may cause it to explode.

This portable method is mainly used for testing sufficiently large workpieces (mainly above 1 kg).

Advantages over standard powder compaction are the possibility of thinner walls and larger workpieces.

The size of the planer is determined by the largest workpiece that can be machined on it.

Step collets allow the holding of rather large workpieces, as long as they need not pass into the spindle through-hole-for example, disc-shaped workpieces.

For large workpieces or high quantity parts, car-bottom furnaces are used so workers can easily move the parts in and out.

Sine table (or sine plate) is used to measure angles of large workpieces.

It is used to measure compound angles of large workpieces.

For larger workpieces, manipulators to reposition them to expose features to the shot blast stream are available.

The major advantage of this process is that it can form large and complex workpieces in one operation.
